Escape Route. A case in point occurred during Lyndon Johnson's recent visit to Manhattan to address the National Urban League. Lady Bird was being feted at a private party, a sit-down dinner for 18, and the President decided to drop by to pick her up. That simple excursion from the Hotel Pierre to an apartment on the West Side turned into a major production, the sort that has frayed Johnson's patience-and is certain to fray that of his successor.

There has been no coup, as certain foreign sources predicted there would be. I tell you, there will never be a coup in Mali." Last week Keita, 53, was cruising down the Niger River on the presidential yacht, General Soumare. By the time he got back to Bamako, he was out of a job, the victim of a quick and bloodless coup organized...
...Broad, managing director of Theater Atlanta, and Don Tucker, a veteran composer for cabarets and industrial shows. It remains to be seen, though, how well this regional product will travel. Another of the show's songs is ominously titled The City's a Great Place to Visit if You Don't Want to Live...
